British Humanist Association

The British Humanist Association acts on the basis of progressive and Enlightenment values, believing that we best make sense of the world using reason, experience and shared human values. We promote Humanism, campaign for an open society and a secular state, and work with others of different beliefs for the common good. We usually feel at home with the Academy of Ideas!

"The Battle of Ideas is a global treasure. Bringing together some of the world's leading thinkers for civil dialogue on an array of topics, the festival is a must-see for those deeply committed to the free exchange of ideas."
Fredrick C. Harris, professor of political science, Columbia University
